pany No. /, two designations of member

is otherwise busily engaged, and youn
Mcintyre, whose health is in rather
delicate state. The latter used be tn

and ably drilled.
Born-In this city, April 9TH, to th'
wife of Jay r. Crandall, fine boy. Al
well.
Yesterday the slate at the police head
quarters bore the names of four offenders
three for vagrancy, fourth for indecent
exposure Of his person. Two of the
quartette were too drunk to receive Their
sentences the same day and were kept
till this afternoon. The others got the
usual dose and will work on the streets
which still need busy hands, with pick
and shovel.
Many farmers in the county have al
ready been compelled to irrigate the
winter wheat, owing to the drouth.
Grave approximations are entertained as
to this coming seasons crop unless there
Is a plentiful pluvial downpour these
next ten days. Gardening is also seri-
ously impeded by the dry, dusty and
sultry weather
The Salt Lake Herulds reporter has
Just found out that Deputies Steele and
milestone have returned and that ''they
look considerably sun-browned." Posi-
bly,, but by no means as brown as the
brethren whom they captured in Hunts
vile, when they will sweat in the bull
pen.
The way OF the transgressor is hard"
Reflections by w. F. Mcdonald, former
employe at the Western Union Telegraph
Company's Office, who tried to skip from
MS numerous heavy creditors, Wednes-
day morning, on the Utah & Northern,
together with fellow-operator, O'Keefe.
At the depot, before embarking. they
were made to settle at least one account
with a drug firm. The proprietor of
another drug store caused a warrant
issued against Mcdonald and had him
stopped at Logan, whence a deputy mar
shall brought him back to Ogden City last
evening, to await further DEVELOPMENTS
in his case. O'Keefe is supposed to have
continued his journey northward unmo-
Tested thus far.
Again the c. P. was late. This time
time Thursday it arrived an hour be-
hind schedule time, bringing eighty-two
frst-class and seventy-four second-class
passengers. Still the travel keeps up
livelier than for a long time.
Last nights ugly weather and biting
wind did not prevent large number OF
members and friends of the Recherche
Club attending and enjoying the closing
ball Of the season, in Woodmansee's
Hall.
A. Fischer, the brewer, spent few
hours in Ogden yesterday before and
after his flying business trip to Brigham
City, where even the faithful subjects of
Apostle Lorenzo Snow know what good
beer is, and manifest it by patronizing
the foaminS ''growler."
Wednesday night a fellow drove his
team into Clifton Browning's job wagon,
knocking the end gate out and coming
near causing considerably more serious
damage. There seems to be an epidemic
OF runaways and other equine escapades.
Loyal League meeting tonight, at s
o'clock, at the usual place.
Good Friday never passes but what
Mrs. Percival ]. Barratt observes the
time-honored custom of baking hot-cross
buns, fo= lhe family and few friends,
including this time THE DEMOCRAT man,
TO share in the abundance of the fari-
naceous delicacy.
Burt Wootton has been duly cinched
IN the Police Court for the battering of a
Chlnaman. Fifteen dollars was the
amount OF the mulct.
S. K. (.'Sid'') Hooper, a son of the late
captain Hooper, passed through Ogden !
yesterday en- route for Cascade Rocks, |
oregon, to JON Captain Young, a relative /
of his.
The first Thursday of the month being /
a day of fasting and praying for the !
members OF the Church of Jesus Christ |
of Latter-day Saints, most of the Nor |
mon merchants had their stores closed /
yesterday forenoon while the services |
were taking place in the different ward |
meeting houses. Until q few months |
ago this primitive custom or observance |
had fallen into almost general innocuous |
desuetude. Now, however, the leaven is
working and the dough of devotion is
rising.
Rolin Z. Sake is still in the land of |
Zion with some thoroughbred Holsteins
with which to improve our horned stock.
Hack" Shurtliff looks like q neV man
is what l wrote the other day. Nobody |
ever took him for anything else than a
man; and it was only given to one |
human, mythical at that the blind /
seer Tiresias of ancient Greece, to change |
trom man to woman and rice versa. /
You'll always find Hack a man.
Fred Turner, one of the heavy busi-
ness men Of Cache Valley, came down
rom Logan last evening en- route TO Salt
Lake City.
Atthe meeting of the Building Asso-
cation on Wednesday night, a good at
tendance OF members and applicants for
membership were present, all of whom
evinced great enthusiasm over the bril-
liant showing of the organization in the
past and its bright prospects for the
future. Several persons took stock in
the ninth series. There was LARGER de-
mand for money than ever. and every
thing indicated that Ogden is becoming
steadily more desirable place, not SO
much for speculative investments as for
bona tide permanent settling down. The
